Desperate Housewives: Art Isn't Easy

Desperate Housewives: Art Isn't Easy
When odd looking boxes are delivered to the gay couple’s home, it causes some interest in the neighborhood. Even more so when workmen assemble them into a really weird piece of fountain art costing $24,000. Are they serious? I could have put that together with some scrap metal and my brother’s welder.

Anyway, the art turns into “splash mountain,” which next-door-neighbor Susan, in particular, hates because it keeps them up at night. The housewives discuss organizing a homeowners’ association, which disbanded when president Mary Alice off’d herself.

Katherine and Lynette butt heads over the rules of the association and end up running against each other for president. Lynette’s worried that Katherine will do away with her kids’ treehouse, and Lynette knows how important that place is to the kids. No doctor or sick-talk is allowed there, and she gets that.

Katherine wins, thanks to a tie-breaker vote by Susan – which doesn’t go over well with Lynette. But the fountain is staying anyway. Turns out the gay couple knows “what happened in Chicago” with Katherine and OB-GYN hubby Adam. Don’t mess with their fountain.

Meanwhile, Bree calls the convent to talk to Danielle. Surprise! She’s not there. She’s with her grandma, Phyllis, vegging out on her couch playing video games. Bree and Orson go to bring her back to the convent.

Not so fast, says Danielle. She’s turning 18 in a few days, and is staying with her grandmother for the duration. But Bree and Orson offer a different perspective, like the fact that Phyllis lives in a retirement village with skinny-legged old guys wandering around the pool. And that her heart’s starting to give out. Done deal, says Danielle. But Bree knows how lonely Phyllis is, so agrees to let her babysit now and then.

Carlos and Gabby have a close encounter with her ex-lover-gardener John. They run into each other at a posh hotel, owned by John’s pregnant wife, whose dad goes hunting with Victor.

John goes to Gabby’s room later, wanting to pick up where they left off. Meanwhile, Carlos is hiding in the closet, hearing every word about her past indiscretions. Ok, he has no room to talk. He’s hiding in a closet.

Carlos and Gabby decide they have to stop seeing each other until they end things with Victor and Edie. It won’t take long, says Carlos. Six months, tops. They end things with a passionate kiss -- all caught by a photographer outside the window. Ok, you’d think these two would know a thing or two about kissing in front of a window. Turns out he was hired by none other than Blackmailer Edie.
